EQUIPMENT

Engines

The four biggest engine killers are dirt, soot, fuel and coolant. Whether you’re in the power generation, off-highway, mining or transportation industries, routine fluid analysis can stop these killers in their tracks, increase uptime and optimize reliability.

Improve engine reliability through these recommended tests:

24 Metals by ICP
% Fuel Dilution
% Water
% Soot
Acid Number
Base Number
Viscosity
Oxidation/Nitration
Particle Quantifier

Compressors

Compressors are critical to operations like manufacturing lines, refrigeration and gas compression. But reliability depends on uptime.

The biggest concern and cause of downtime is airborne contamination from manufacturing environments which usually affects viscosity and causes oxidation.

Cooling Systems

The cooling system removes excess heat from the engine and maintains the engine’s optimal operating temperature. Analyzing the cooling system can catch contamination, monitor inhibitor protection levels and ensure fluid quality.

Improve cooling system reliability through these recommended tests and more:

Antifreeze %
Boil Point
Corrosion Inhibitor
Elemental Analysis by ICP
Freeze Point
Nitrite
pH
SCA Number
Total Hardness
Visuals

Gear Systems

With gear boxes, fluid analysis can ensure lubricant viscosity and additives are appropriate for the equipment’s speed and load, preventing excessive wear from occurring.

Through fluid analysis, wear problems can be caught early meaning a reduction in maintenance costs, increased equipment reliability and extended lubricant life.

Turbines

Producing reliable energy is essential in the world today. Predicting your turbine maintenance can improve the bottom line of any energy generating unit and improve reliability.

Fluid analysis will maximize equipment performance while extending drain intervals and eliminate unexpected downtime.
